When the attack ends, Diddy Kong's Rocketbarrel Pack violently explodes and flies off in different directions. Once the pack is about explode, Diddy Kong will begin flashing. Upon exploding, Diddy is flung slightly in the air and he is put into a helpless state in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but not in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. Additionally, Diddy Kong can KO himself if he flies past the blast lines, unlike other flying Final Smashes like Super Sonic and Charizard's Mega Evolution.

Diddy Kong's Final Smash. Equipping his rocketbarrels and dual peanut popguns, Diddy can fly around attacking opponents in rapid-fire fashion. He can tilt the barrel jets left or right to control his flight and shoot peanuts straight down, too. This is a technique that tests one's ability to control both movement and attack direction.
